    The Birth Equity Advocacy Project - We spend 100% of our time advocating for equity in Black maternal care and Black infant health.

    In recent years, despite the reduction in Black maternal mortality rates in California the difference in outcomes for Black mothers compared with all other racial groups has continued to grow. COVID-19 has exacerbated factors that compound racial inequity, such as geography,socioeconomic status, and access to resources. Our work is focused on filling in the gap of awareness as it relates to birth equity due to racism. Our hope is that we can activate communities, families, and corporations to start talking about this issue more proactively.
